Overview

Titahi Bay is a kitesurfing spot located in the northern suburbs of Wellington, in the Porirua area, on the North Island of New Zealand. This small bay faces west towards the Tasman Sea and offers moderate wave conditions. The beach is surrounded by cliffs that channel the wind. The prevailing winds come from the northwest and southwest. The spot is suitable for intermediate to advanced kitesurfers. The bay is relatively small and sailing space can be limited. The surrounding cliffs can create turbulence and gust effects.
